I have been to Burning man music and art festival a few times and in 2012 had an art instalation. My friends and I are returning in 2015 with a bigger budget for a new art project and it will include a laser.
We are building a 30 ft steep pyramid out of electrical conduit and covering the structure with Total Control rgb lighting. Shooting out the top will be a 2w 532 green laser pointed straight up.
Ive been researching the laser and feel I can get a good quality one for about $1500.00 USD.
Does that sound about right? Jet laser seems reputable and has them for about that cost. I would appreciate any tips or recommendations for this type of laser.
Some concerns I have is the environment is very dusty. Night time temp can get around freezing rarely but is usually in the high 40's F.
The laser doesn't need to do much but stay on for hours at a time. We can shut it down to cool but I would rather it stay running as much as possible.
Its my hopes to have the brightest, most crisp, beam possible. I feel a 2w 532 green fits the bill just fine. Last year at the BM festival I met a nice guy that had a 1w mounted to his golf cart. it was very impressive. i spoke with him about lasers for a while and knew that night next year I would have my own!
